Changes to assessment in National Courses

31-JAN-2017

Following the Deputy First Minister’s announcement that units and unit assessments will be removed from National 5 to Advanced Higher courses, we are strengthening the course assessment to ensure it covers the full content of the course.

Units and unit assessments will be removed as follows:

National 5 from 2017–18

Higher from 2018–19

Advanced Higher from 2019–20

Specimen question paper and specimen coursework assessment task now available

02-JUN-2017

We have published the specimen coursework assessment task and the new specimen question paper for National 5 Administration and IT. Both documents are accompanied by e-files and can be found in the Assessment section of this page, under the '2017-18 session' tab. They should be read in conjunction with the revised course specification.

Course support notes will be added to the revised course specification as an appendix by the end of September 2017.
